Export

From finding a credible buyer to delivery at destination.

Scope

Each export enquiry is assessed against the goods, HS classification, destination and contract. Work proceeds only where the cargo is eligible and the relevant authorities and operators confirm the required steps.

Workflow

  • Initial cargo, market, restriction and permit screening
  • Preliminary buyer checks and coordination of contract, Incoterms and payment terms
  • Review of invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, permits and transport documents
  • Rail, road, sea or multimodal routing after capacity checks
  • Coordination of declaration, loading, insurance and tracking to the agreed handover point

What we need

Goods description and HS code if known, weight, dimensions, packing, origin, destination, approximate value, Incoterm, target date and available permits or certificates.

Important

Price and transit time are valid only after document review and confirmation by carriers, terminals, customs and border operators. Buyer sourcing and payment collection are not guaranteed.

Key questions before trade or transport starts

These answers are a decision framework. Each file still requires current cargo, party, document and regulatory review.

Is an HS code enough?

No. The proposed code must be checked against the technical description, material, use, composition, model and catalogue. Customs and competent authorities make the final classification and requirement decisions.

What makes an estimate usable?

Exact origin and destination, weight, dimensions, units, packing, value and currency, Incoterm, cargo-ready date, HS code, temperature or dangerous-goods status and available permits. Missing data produces only a conditional estimate.

Which documents are normally reviewed?

Proforma or invoice, packing list, contract, origin evidence, transport document and insurance, plus product-specific standards, health, quarantine, environmental or other permits where applicable.

Does a free zone mean duty-free entry into Iran?

No. Entry into the zone and commercial entry into mainland Iran are different procedures. Mainland entry may require order registration, permits, declaration, valuation, duties and taxes.

Are a direct route and transit time guaranteed?

Only after every route operator confirms the booking. Train or vessel plans, terminal capacity, border queues, holidays, weather, quarantine and inspections can change the route or timing.

How are payment and counterparties checked?

Legal identity, signing authority, registration, beneficial ownership, banks, countries, cargo and end use should be screened before commitment. Screening does not guarantee payment or performance.

Have a shipment on the way?

Send us a short description of the goods, the origin and the destination. We will come back with a proposed route and an initial estimate.
